  1. 1. How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

    • Every day, and I record (or remember) it as my “official” weight.
      24
    • Every day because it keeps me focused, but I only count it as an “official” weigh-in once a week.
      35
    • Every week, to monitor how I’m doing.
      33
    • Just once a month. I have plenty of other things to worry about besides what the scale says.
      3
    • Not often anymore. I’m at my goal weight or I’ve been losing weight long enough that I know how I’m doing.

Now once a week or once a fortnight. I used to weigh myself every day but I just couldn't keep that up long term. It would have driven me bonkers

Since I have been back on track, every morning. It helps me stay focused. I will move to weekly when I reach goal. If I miss a day, I don't freakout.

I guess I'm weird, but I only weigh myself twice a week. Weighing every day stresses me out.

I must say this so everyone can understand my OCD tendency. I can become so totally obsessed with the scales. I hate them!! I hate to weigh even at the DR's office. I have even cancelled DR'S appointments because I knew they would weigh me!! So for my own sanity I try to weigh 1 time a month. My hubby kept pushing me to weigh. He doesn't realize how it affects me. I have felt that I had gained weight and thought I would stick my head in the sand!! But you know what? I hadn't even gained a pound. I think I should weigh myself only at the DR.'s office. That is my plan for now. Hubby be DAMNED. LOL

Usually twice a day. Morning and night. I know it makes some people crazy, but it makes me feel good to see that weight gone, and it keeps me accountable. I gained 4 lbs after a few days about a month ago, and I feel like I was able to stop, regroup and get focused again before it got too far out of hand.

I am familiar with how the scale fluctuates during different times of the day.

I try to only weigh myself once a week but I really go by the surgeons scales as they where what I was weighed on before I was wheeled in to be operated on and I trust they are accurate. so I only record my weight loss after I have seen the surgeon then it is official

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
